After inking deal, Chapman works out with A's

OAKLAND -- The A's announced that they have signed Matt Chapman, their first-round pick in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft. Chapman was at O.co Coliseum before Monday's game working out with the team.

A third baseman with a rocket arm out of Cal State Fullerton, Chapman was glowing after he walked through the tunnel for the first time.

"It's an honor to be on the same field as these guys," Chapman said. "I'm just going to soak it all in and enjoy it."
